Thurber''s rapier wit meets its match in Yoon''s intelligent, powerful imagery in this classic tale about the absurdity of omnipotence.

Gorgeously illustrated and including two gatefolds that give us a panoramic jungle at war, The Tiger Who Would Be King is as entertaining as it is wise, as wry as it is passionate.

Yoon''s humorous images support this beautifully written text with wit and insight. Her final portrait of the tiger in a sea of silence will stay with the reader for a long, long time.
